Listen to the Q&A session from our Salt Live event, "Never Enough: Can self-improvement really fix us?". Speaker Daniel Ogbonna and host Jeremy Moses take questions from the audience.

We live in a generation obsessed with self-improvement. Bullet Journaling, juice cleanses, cold plunges. And, of course, much of it works. Many of us have achieved far more than our parents or grandparents could have dreamt of.

And yet, the focus on self-improvement has a dark side. We become anxious about our performance. We obsess over the small details of our sleep, diet, exercise, mental health, and habits. Our world feels smaller. Some of us have burnt ourselves out in the pursuit of perfection. And even when you make the gains, you’re left wondering what’s next.

On Tuesday, 20th May 2025, we hosted Salt Live with speaker Daniel Ogbonna. In a room full of curious Londoners, he unpacked the perils of our collective perfectionism and explored what ancient Christian wisdom has to say to our hunger for self-improvement.

Less than 20 years after the birth of the iPhone, screens have become the dominant presence in modern life. We work, plan, socialise, read, and entertain ourselves through them. Barely a minute goes by without a pick-up.

And yet, we’re increasingly aware that too much screen time is harmful. Heightened anxiety from constant doomscrolling. Brain-rot from too much YouTube. Insecurity from perpetual comparison. We’re bored and addicted to our phones.

We feel like something is wrong. But buying a dumbphone or reducing screen time isn’t enough. What if the problem is deeper? Do we need to understand the roots of our habits?

On Tuesday, 4th February 2025, we hosted our latest Salt Live event where speaker Jeremy Moses shared his take on the digital dilemma with a room of curious Londoners. Jeremy is a former start-up leader, as well as a leadership coach, pastor and speaker.
